What do we think of the reports that Moyles is returning to radio to host the breakfast show on a revamped XFM?

Personally I'd love to here him back on the radio in some form, and I think XFM would be a good fit. Also rumours that Dom and Pippa will be joining him.

Also mentioned is Vernon Kay doing 10-1 and Richard Bacon doing drivetime.

If he does return, I can see it lowering Grimmy's figures further for those that still listen to breakfast on Radio 1 but preferred Moyles.

The formats will still vary starkly; Moyles is on a rock & alternative station, whereas Grimmy is on a CHR, new music kind of station. If it does happen, I'll have a listen but obviously occasionally, as I prefer Radio 1.

This news really excites me - even though it's all but confirmed, I really hope it's true. Given the choice between Moyles and Grimmy, it's a no brainer. I would leave Radio 1 at breakfast time for Chris Moyles, although I'd still listen to it the rest of the time.

There's also the worry that any new show would never live up to the old show and would just sound like a poor imitation. However, maybe having been off the radio all this time he's got his edge back and would actually be an improvement on his later days of breakfast.

I don't know what I'd do if it was Moyles against Greg though. That would be a difficult choice.

Why would anyone want to listen to Radio 1 if Moyles was back on, I couldn't care what station he was on as long as I can hear him!

Radio 1 need to go for quality presenters again the only change that I think that the host has happened in 5/6 years is actually better than the previous incumbent was Greg James replacing Edith Bowman & Adele replacing Gemma

I think Ben Cooper obviously believed Grimmy has what Fearne (now Clara), Scott & Greg have to feature on daytime? I personally don't mind Grimmy in the morning, but I can see why an older audience are changing station, and Grimmy will lose more listeners!

I feel like Grimmy is getting a little stronger at presenting, funnier, tighter links. I mean, I am pretty obsessed with him, but... the team make it sound so easy and introducing Tina to the conversations makes it flow better.

However, I do still feel like re-introducing Matt Fincham to the team would be a boost to the show. He was very good.

Pippa has left Radio 1!

Aled also tweeted a picture of him and her the other day about planning the future of radio. Looks like this is becoming more likely.

XFM reported to be rebranded as Radio X. Looks to be happening in either September or November. If true, some info must be about to be released surely.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.

      There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.
